Has Bush been a "different" type of leader since 9/11 ..?

[kentuck]

...than he was before 9/11 ? Sometimes I think someone pulled him to the side and said, "Listen son, your job is ot protect this nation and you failed. You were on vacation absolutely too much during your first 8 months. You were not listening to what people were telling you. You thought you could go around the world kicking sand in everyone's face but you're going to have to change your ways. This is the presidency - not a vacation. You wanted this job, you stole it, and now it's yours. You're going to have to bear down and do the job..."

Has Dubya been any different since 9/11? And has it been for the better or worse?

Fishing... reading about a goat.. nope don't see much difference there.

2. More openly arrogant comes to mind.

3. He said it himself "I hit the Trifecta".....

9/11 gave him a forum to present himself as a "leader", and an excuse
to pursue his world-wide agenda.

Oh my god. Maybe they did LIHOP!

I haven't had a good day. That press conference was so bizarre.

4. "leader" Har!

You reeled me in! Eh, I shoulda known you were joking.

5. Strip away...

... the image-making and the spin, and he's no different than he was before. Befuddled, arrogant, ignorant.

The CEO president was a failure as a CEO. Ipso facto....
